that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis

QUOTE: From Best of the Web Today:

"The New York Times magazine reports that some public-health experts have hit upon an innovative way of preventing AIDS:

There is another way to reduce the spread of H.I.V.--one that is increasingly recognized by public-health experts but that has been relegated, thus far, to an afterthought: fidelity--either in marriage or in a committed relationship. As experts come to understand more about the African AIDS epidemic, it seems clear that regular sexual contact with more than one person is the key human behavior that enables the rapid spread of H.I.V.

Of course, inasmuch as this involves encouraging marriage, it might be seen in some quarters as antiwoman."
